Hi, I'm Lucas!
I've been competing at the top level in Australia for over 5 years. I started like anybody else, wanting to get stronger and improve my quality of life... also to get absolutely yoked as a teenager... and as soon as I started, I was hooked. I soon made the decision to compete, master every skill I could, and become the level of athlete that could compete and thrive in CrossFit.
Through that journey, I obsessed, I studied the game, watched the top athletes, outsourced coaching, and worked damn hard. Before I knew it, I was putting all the work into action, competing at the top-level CrossFit competitions around Australia.
Not only that, but putting myself into weightlifting competitions, triathlons, and other sports to sharpen myself and learn from other disciplines. I would actually say I'm a subpar athlete, only because I care too much about my ability to help others.
There's a saying that goes, you can't be a great athlete and a great coach, and I care way too much about both, so now I'm just mediocre at both but my history and testimonials would say maybe I'm just good at both
Hi I’m Jack!
I’ve also been competing in CrossFit at the highest level in Australia for over 5 years now. What originally drew me into CrossFit was that any one, no matter size, colour or ability would be brought together through self improvement. I began at the ripe young age of 14 years old with my mum and we still train together to this day (I’m her coach nowadays haha).
Training has always been a north star for me and was somewhere to expend / focus all of my pent up energy. I believe that training is all about the lessons you are taught along the way that make you a better human outside/inside of the gym and off the competition floor.
Courage and showing up for yourself is a skill you must practice and the competition floor is the perfect location to express this. In our sport of CrossFit you can’t control what your competitors are doing only what you are doing which is a huge lesson that will bleed into your life.
Focus on yourself!
I’m currently going through a competitive break and finding a deeper connection to my big why… A spiritual journey if you will. I believe in listening to your body, mind and spirit as when these three worlds combine you will be an unbreakable force.
Hi, I’m Ben!
Since diving into CrossFit in 2013 and obtaining my Level 1 certification, I've been fortunate to work at premier Australian CrossFit gyms and learn from top coaches.
My philosophy centers on CrossFit as a transformative force within local affiliates, aiming to motivate individuals to take charge of their health and amplify their overall well-being. Aligned with Greg Glassman's original vision, I see CrossFit as a powerful antidote to chronic diseases and a vehicle for holistic life improvement.
Alongside my coaching journey, I'm pursuing a degree in Osteopathy, envisioning a fusion of this knowledge with CrossFit principles. Holding certifications including CFL3 and CrossFit Weightlifting Level 1, my competitive journey has seen notable achievements, such as placing 5th in the Torian Pro Teams 2022.
My mission is to guide every member toward health accountability, helping them become the fittest, strongest, and happiest versions of themselves.
